Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken thigh with skin and bone
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. This helps to remove any excess moisture, ensuring that your chicken will sear nicely. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Whisk them together until you have a smooth and homogeneous mixture. This will be your sauce for the chicken.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the honey mustard sauce to the skillet, spooning it over the chicken to coat thoroughly.
- Simmer: Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for a few minutes, turning the pieces occasionally to ensure they are well coated and the flavors meld together.
- Serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat. Serve your Honey Mustard Chicken with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or your favorite salad.
